    Character Concepts Multiclassing Oddity

    I'm looking at the latest Dragon feature, Character Concepts, and I've noticed an odd section: The way I read this is that Germain, having taken Novice Power at level 4 to get Burning Hands, now, at level 7, also gets Color Spray. At least, the author did not mention that Burning Hands has...

    Magic Item Creation Question

    I believe it would have to be disenchanted first.

    How would you write Curse of the Bloody Fangs to make sense?

    I have seen several powers like this. It seems to me that the obvious intention of (save ends) is that once the target has saved, you can no longer sustain the power.

    Forked Thread: Blade Cascade official errata: It's now reasonable

    IMO, Blade Cascade has been nerfed just a bit too much. I'd have put the limit at 7 or 10 attacks, perhaps. My reasoning is that a fighter at level 3 could get 4 attacks via Rain of Blows, and Blade Cascade at level 15 should be much more powerful, especially because Strikers are meant to be...

    Printer Friendly KotS Maps

    These are the maps I made for running Keep on the Shadowfell. They are PNG's so that they won't suffer from jpg errors. Each image is an 8x10 section, and although they are numbered by their encounter area it can be a bit of a puzzle to piece them all together. You'll definitely need to have...

    Dragon 365 - Artificer

    Although I have only just skimmed the article, there are two things I see about the artificer that worry me: :1: The artificer may be just a bit too good. Power creep always happens in any game where things are added over time, because the bar of "ooh, shiny" is always being raised; however...

    Ritual Costs and spell components

    From this post. This is how I do it. I have my players purchase kits, which contain a certain GP amount of a specific type of reagent. The characters can resupply the kits as needed. It works well with the game flavor, and requires the players to give some thought to what they might need...

    Anyone good with Excel want to take up the challenge?

    Wait a sec! Are you saying that fan created documents, offered to the community without charge, are restricted by the OGL? I thought it was only for publishers who agreed to the license!

    why cant I sneak attack with a longbow?

    How about a feat to allow this: Prerequisites: Rogue Class, proficiency with weapon Benefit: You can use Sneak Attack with this weapon. I think this feat would balance player's desire to sneak attack with other weapons. As a fantasy game, reality can take a back seat.

    Ray of Frost and Cloud of Daggers; Red Headed Stepchildren of Wizard At-Wills?

    Unfortunately, flat Dex (no proficiency bonus) vs. AC is very unlikely to hit, probably even worse at higher levels. Despite the Wizard description stating that Dex is useful for Wizards, it really doesn't seem like a good attribute for them. Sure, Arcane Riposte does good damage, but if you...

    Multiclass Rules

    I voted neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. I would be satisfied or extremely satisfied if there were additional feats that would allow access to class features, even at a reduced rate. For example, if you multiclass to Warlock, you'll never get Warlock's Curse, which the Pact Blade and many...

    Drawing an item: Sword and board vs. two-handed

    Looks right to me. Of course, the Sword & Board fighter could: * drop weapon (free) * draw item (minor) * quaff (minor) * pick up sword (minor) This has the advantage that it can be accomplished in 1 round of combat. It has the disadvantage that the character must drop the weapon. Unless...

    Stealth in Combat?

    Probably meant Nimble Reaction.

    Stealth in Combat?

    Allies do not provide cover for the purpose of Stealth. Any terrain feature which provides cover will allow the Rogue to make a stealth check (vs. Perception of all the enemies that can see the Rogue). This stealth check will have to be made at the end of each turn in which the Rogue desires...

    What is this limit? How is it determined?

    An Example Character, Levels 1-30

    How do you figure 1d10+23 dmg? I see 1d10+13, unless you add half your levels, which I didn't think applies to damage.

    Tiefling Warlord for KotS + Extra Skill Challenge

    I'm happy to see Inspiring Word finally added to the sheet, but I'm surprised that it's a straight d6. I expected d6+Cha. Perhaps it is a d6+Wis, just like for the Cleric, because the Tiefling's Wis Mod is +0. Can anyone clear this up?

    Tiefling Warlord for KotS

    Good catch. I have no idea how I missed that. Yes, his leather with his Int makes his AC better than chainmail. I wanted a really high Int to showcase the Tactical powers with this character, and since I didn't want to absolutely neglect Str and Cha, that didn't leave a lot of points to go...

    D&D 4E 4E PrRC ~v2.7~ FINAL UPDATE May 29.08

    Khaalis, I had the same problem with my HP LaserJet 2605dn, on Windows XP using HP's PostScript drivers. I was able to solve the problem by downloading HP's PCL drivers, and installing them as a new printer (to the same port). I did not remove the old version. Another poster had the same...
